U.S. natural gas prices have risen about 63% since Monday ahead of a major winter storm forecast to bring heavy snow, sleet and freezing rain from Friday through the weekend. Households face jumping energy bills as heating demand surges.
A severe storm driving broad heating demand tightens gas supplies and pushes prices higher, raising energy and fertilizer input costs. The price impact is concentrated in gas and electricity markets rather than grain or feed directly.
After 221 past bullish weather events, Natural Gas moved a median +3.3% over 5 sessions (61% higher; middle half -5.2% to +14.0%), and -0.3% over 20.
